Not Your Granny’s Wallpaper!

We all remember it, the yellowed, dated wallpaper with the little petite fleur pattern. It covered the walls and shouted, “Look at me! Look at me!” Removing it took forever. I can remember helping a friend take down the wallpaper in the house they had purchased. We took turns using a plastic steamer. I would heat a section while she tore off little strips. Underneath the wallpaper was more wallpaper, another crispy dirty layer to peel off. Hot and sticky. Thank goodness those days are over.

Well, wallpaper is back. If you don’t believe me, start paying attention to the television sitcoms, commercials and magazines. It’s back, but times have changed and the new wallpaper is wider and easier to hang. If you tire of it in a few years, it comes down in strips – BIG strips, 8′ to 10′ strips. America’s oldest and largest wallpaper manufacturer, York Wallcoverings, has a new adhesive technology (Sure Strip) which guarantees easy removal.
